Definition: the act of sending a mobile phone to mobile phone message of text instead of talking
Texting is usually used to talk with your friends to communicate more easily without being face to face and not having to answer right away. Texting is used for business purposes, too, but is more commonly used for general use. It is also used to communicate with parents and their children about what is going on and what time it is. A recent study has shown texting is the number 1 thing teens use to communicate today over talking in person and on the phone.
